The WikiProject on open proxies seeks to identify, verify and block open proxies and anonymity network exit nodes. To prevent abuse or vandalism, only proxy checks by verified users will be accepted. All users are welcome to discuss on the talk page, report possible proxies, or request that a blocked IP be rechecked.

  • If you've been blocked as an open proxy, please see: Help:blocked.
  • To report a proxy check or an incorrect block, see the #Reporting section.

124.122.70.184[edit]

Symbol wait old.png A user has requested a proxy check. A proxy checker will shortly look into the case.

Reason: per IPQualityScore. Thibaut (talk) 10:37, 30 June 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Should this be closed? IP was blocked as a proxy yesterday. ☆ Bri (talk) 16:47, 4 July 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]

223.25.61.236[edit]

Symbol wait old.png A user has requested a proxy check. A proxy checker will shortly look into the case.

Reason: suspicious edits at article recently abused by LTA & spur reports callback proxy ☆ Bri (talk) 15:18, 2 July 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]

90.167.174.0/24 and 90.167.177.0/24[edit]

Symbol wait old.png A user has requested a proxy check. A proxy checker will shortly look into the case.

Reason: The individual IPs listed above appear to be activity of some LTAs in the beauty pageant space in the last ten days, with the exception of one active in May and the first address which was active late last year. Just wanted a quick check on these for proxy use. The editing follows the pattern of LTAs believed to be in Southeast Asia, with topics related to that geography, not Basque region consistent with geolocation. ☆ Bri (talk) 18:41, 5 July 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]

141.95.17.140[edit]

Symbol comment vote.svg – This proxy check request is closed and will soon be archived by a bot.

Reason: OVH VPS IP. For VPN/OP use - IPalyzer - RichT|C|E-Mail 02:41, 2 August 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]

  •  Confirmed, blocked the /22. I'd usually go wider than that but OVH is pretty bad at labeling ranges, so I'm rather wary of collateral. Closing, thanks for the report. --Blablubbs (talk) 23:17, 4 August 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]

93.189.6.34[edit]

Symbol comment vote.svg – This proxy check request is closed and will soon be archived by a bot.

Reason: Static web proxy,[1] abused for vote-stacking. CharlesWain (talk) 05:51, 5 August 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Automated lists and tools[edit]

  • User:AntiCompositeBot/ASNBlock maintained by User:AntiCompositeBot is a list of hosting provider ranges that need assessment for blocks that is updated daily. Admins are encouraged to review the list and assess for blocks as needed. All administrators are individually responsible for any blocks they make based on that list.
  • ISP Rangefinder is a tool that allows administrators to easily identify and hard block all ranges for an entire ISP. It should be used with extreme caution, but is useful for blocking known open proxy providers. All administrators are individually responsible for any blocks they make based on the results from this tool.
  • IPCheck is a tool that can help provide clues about potential open proxies.
  • Bullseye provides information about IPS, including clues about potential open proxies.
  • whois-referral is a generic WHOIS tool.
  • Range block finder finds present and past range blocks.
